We believe everyone plays a role in educating the next generation.
Through advocacy, professional development, accreditation, and innovation Michigan Association of Non-public Schools (MANS) ensures high-quality educational choice for Michigan’s parents.
Our Core Services
Advocacy
MANS is the public policy voice for non-public schools in the state of Michigan.
MANS pursues every opportunity to advance equity for faith-based schools and the network of non-public schools in Michigan.
Professional development
MANS works collaboratively to meet the professional learning needs of administrators and teachers.
In partnership with our constituency groups, MANS provides faith-based professional learning opportunities that convene members for unique learning experiences while maximizing efficiencies and addressing local needs.
Through an innovative partnership with the Michigan Equitable Service Collaborative (MESC), MANS also offers secular Title IIa professional learning events. Topics are designed for, and with input from, Michigan’s diverse non-public school educator network.
Upcoming Event
MNSAA Accreditation
Providing Nationally recognized school accrediting services since 1984.
Through the Michigan Non-public School Accrediting Association (MNSAA) we provide full accreditation services for Catholic schools and reciprocal accreditation services for member schools already approved by other approved accreditation associations. The MNSAA process emphasizes school improvement.
Innovation
Connecting MANS members to valuable resources.
MANS works to identify and respond to member needs by seeking efficiencies and services that benefit operations at the constituency and school levels.
